New York: Da Capo Press, Inc. (1980). 274 pages. First edition, thus. Illustrated from photographs. Softcover. Light wear to outer edge of front wrap. Near fine.
Lovely copy of this authoritative biography on blues guitar legend and performer B.B. King. Inscribed by B.B. King in 1988 to an avid collector of African American history. With a blurb and praise written by photographer and novelist Gordon Parks on the back cover. First published by Doubleday, all editions are difficult to obtain in desirable condition and they are rarely found autographed by B.B. King.
